We Lebanese Reject All Foreign Interference, Courtesy Of Iranian, Qatari, and Saudi Patrons

We pursue only Lebanese interests, as defined by Iran, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and occasionally France.

Beirut, February 8 – The Lebanese Republic staunchly asserts its sovereignty and independence from all outside agendas – and we can do this because of constant helpful “suggestions” from the proxies and funding from several regional powers within our borders.

As Minister of Foreign Affairs and Emigrants, I reaffirm in every meeting and communiqué that Lebanon charts its own course. Our foreign policy springs from national consensus. Our security framework protects our people without external prompting. Our decisions on alliances remain ours alone, guided solely by Lebanese interests, as defined by Iran, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and occasionally France.

Hezbollah defends the nation’s sovereignty through its independent resistance apparatus, equipped, trained, and strategically oriented in seamless harmony with Tehran’s regional vision. We exercise full Lebanese control over our defense posture. We exercise it precisely as aligned with Iranian guidance and priorities.

Qatar bolsters our political pluralism and national recovery with unrestricted generosity toward selected movements, broadcasters, and reconstruction initiatives, delivered at moments of maximum electoral or economic need. We preserve our autonomous decision-making. We preserve it through the timely and substantial Qatari support that shapes viable outcomes.

Saudi Arabia reinforces Lebanon’s economic independence with substantial aid envelopes, investment pledges, and infrastructure financing, thoughtfully calibrated to promote regional stability and appropriate political distance from adversarial axes. We maintain fiscal self-reliance. We maintain it courtesy of Riyadh’s conditional yet indispensable contributions.

France shares its longstanding friendship by offering expert counsel on banking overhaul, governance modernization, and reform roadmaps, always presented as disinterested partnership. We determine our domestic agenda independently. We determine it with the benefit of precise French recommendations embedded in every assistance package.

The United States partners with us on border security, counter-terrorism coordination, and financial transparency measures, contributing resources and observations that strengthen our institutions. We safeguard our sovereignty in these domains. We safeguard it through American frameworks and oversight that ensure compliance.

The European Union sustains our social fabric and humanitarian needs via grants conditioned on benchmarks for accountability, anti-corruption, and institutional performance. We address these challenges on our own terms. We address them on terms that qualify for continued EU disbursements.

The 2020 Beirut port explosion underscored our sovereign capacity to manage national assets and accountability processes, even amid a complex web of sectarian and external alignments that had long deferred oversight. International solidarity followed swiftly afterward. International solidarity followed with donor-specific blueprints for what rebuilding should entail.

We welcome all such partnerships into our public finances, political processes, and development planning with full transparency. In every official statement we express profound appreciation to our benefactors. In every official statement we reiterate that Lebanon admits no foreign interference whatsoever in its internal affairs.

This enduring pattern has preserved our independence across generations of crisis. Perhaps one day we might explore even greater clarity on funding origins, firmer barriers against cross-border patronage, and an economy rooted in domestic strength. For now, we proclaim our sovereignty with absolute conviction, because the enabling architectures of support allow us—no, require us—to do exactly that.

The only country that does not show us such concern is Israel, and we hate her for it.
